Oven Roasted Bison and Barley Burgers
Ingredients
- 450 g roughly 1lb ground bison meat
- 1 cup cooked barley
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup "italian" breadcrumbs *
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Mix together all ingredients and shape into palm-sized patties about ¼ inch thick. For best results, the burgers should be shaped then covered and refrigerated for a minimum of 2 hours (longer the better, up to 8 hours is acceptable) before cooking.
- Warm up a little bit of olive oil in a non stick skillet and work in batches to brown the patties on both sides. Place the browned patties on a baking rack and line the area underneath with aluminum foil to catch any drippings. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink inside. Do not overcook.
- You can eat these in a burger bun with your favorite fixings, or serve on the side with lots of veggies and a drizzle of balsamic cream.
